Title: Iraq Strikes!Breaking the 70-year-old layout of the US military, the Middle East counterattack officially began
The situation in the Middle East has once again descended into turmoil, and Iraq has announced the end of military operations on its territory by the US-led coalition. This unexpected incident broke the 70-year layout of the US military in the Middle East, and the Middle East region sounded the clarion call for counterattack.
According to the official statement, the Iraqi side announced the end of military operations against the US military due to the US airstrikes that killed a militia leader, triggering the militant group's ** against Iraq. However, this incident may not be the result of more than just an individual incident. Tensions in the Middle East, Israel's invasion of Gaza, and Iran's increased cooperation with Iraq provide an opportune time for Iraq to choose to end the U.S. military campaign at this time.
The Middle East is in an eventful time, with Israel's invasion of Gaza triggering attacks by all parties in the region** and even Iranian-backed militant groups. The withdrawal of US troops in the Mediterranean Sea has brought the region into a "vacuum period" of aircraft carriers, giving Iraq greater operability. Choosing to strike at US military bases at this time is extremely feasible for all parties in the Middle East.
The presence of the US military in the Middle East is part of its global hegemony and is critical to the global deployment of the United States. The U.S. military presence in the Middle East has been uninterrupted for nearly 70 years, and the Iraqi action threatens to shake America's intertwined power ties in the Middle East. However, the presence of US troops in Iraq also has its justifications, especially in the fight against ISIS. It will be interesting to see whether Iraq is strong enough and whether the Middle East will be able to withstand the threat of ISIS.
Relations between Iran and Iraq have improved recently, especially in the face of Israel's invasion of Gaza, and there has been a rare unanimity among the parties in the Middle East. Whether Iran, as a regional power, will directly participate in this incident or provide external support will have a profound impact on the situation in the Middle East.
Syria, like Iraq, has a U.S. military presence and is illegal. It will be interesting to see whether Iraq's actions will somehow affect the attitude of Syria, especially on the issue of US military bases.
Iraq's current operation is actually the beginning of the "de-U.S. baseing" of the Middle East. Whether the local forces in the Middle East are willing to see the US military flex its muscles on their territory and become an external hegemon in the region has become a common concern. The crisis of US military bases is looming, and Iraq's actions could inspire other countries in the Middle East to follow suit and accelerate the process.
